Obviously my excellent commentary helps Pavlik a great deal, but what other factors play a part?

Multiple choice, public poll.

Both fighter are great and all, But Dawson is missing that big win like Pavlik had with Jermain Taylor. One problem with Dawson is that there is nobody the LH division besides Calzaghe that is a big name. Also Dawson is a Showtime fighter, just wait till he is on HBO.
